Afternoon all. You seem to have been having fun.

Had a wonderful all day breakfast cooked by a Turk named Mustafa and served by his brother Mehmet. Sadly no waitresses from São Paulo but a lovely Spanish girl from Madrid in the cafe where we had coffee.

Another good day on the markets and won 4 prizes on the Ernie Bonds.

Sat here now drinking a nice cool glass of Chardonnay.

Now now calm down. One has to wonder how you can hold down such a responsible job, with oodles of overseas travel, an unlimited expense account and incredible rolling annual ltip still have the time and inclination to respond in milleseconds to every little tweak you get here. Are you real?

By the way, is this bit of your post serious????

“I don't need to, nor do I have the desire to, show my wealth.”

You never stop banging on about your wealth, how you could buy this person or that person out multiple times from one year of your capital gains, your girlfriend’s Mercedes, your second home in Florida (even telling us the price), etc etc etc. It’s all right here on this board!!! Have you got some sort of memory loss?

[gettingrichslow] 03/7/2019 13:58

Minny, I’ve read that post twice to check I wasn’t misinterpreting anything. My conclusion is that that meal you are describing sounds bloody awful! Rather you than me!

[gettingrichslow] 03/7/2019 13:03

Minny, you’ve got a terrible memory! Only a few weeks ago you were claiming you’d never been to a Bill’s once you realised it was a cheap chain restaurant that rather undermined your bragging about how wealthy you are!! But now you suddenly have an intimate knowledge.

"to an Argentinian restaurant"

I guess you will enjoy it and then a year later direct vitriol at them over something like The Falklands. Views, values, morals, attitudes etc.. are so fickle and transient today. Shame.

"Very meat-centric with the meat carved off a big skewer at your table. The best cut was top sirloin culotte in a chilli marinade served on mooli and edamame salad. Marbled rib-eye was good too. Our waitress was from São Paulo! Iâ€͐2;m going to an Argentinian restaurant in London next week which is meant to be incredible."




WOW. From São Paulo? Amazing. Did she arrive here by catching a lift on a Portuguese man-of-war or did she use a plane like most do globally? Some of the waitresses in Bill's are from Venezuela, but I didn't at once think it would be of note to write about it on a financial website. Bill's sell cooked meat too, on the skewer.

My Goodness! I think this chap eats too much red meat.

[gettingrichslow] 03/7/2019 09:22

It’s a good ‘bragster̵7; stock Jackdaw! You’ll upset that bitter old clown Meanwhile if you buy bragster or fanboy stocks.

[jackdaw4243] 03/7/2019 08:17

Lost patience with RR, may have a punt with BUR with proceeds.

Getting, sounds good fun and hard work. What is Brazilian food like?

[brexitplus] 02/7/2019 14:45

Jackdaw

In my opinion three things would help the sp

1 Taking Woodford out of the equation

2 Excellent results on 25 July

3 listing on the FTSE

I think all three together would give it a major boost.

I’m not sure about SAGA, it’s performance has been dire like the AA. meanwhile might be able to help, it’s more his cup of tea I think.

[jackdaw4243] 02/7/2019 13:45

My financials are up but poor Rolls Royce has no friends, sold Astra, bought SAGA and ITV.

How much mileage is left in BUR ? its had a good run

[meanwhile] 02/7/2019 09:14

I've nothing to say this morning because all the bragster shares are up.

[brexitplus] 02/7/2019 08:45

Getting, so good to see that excellent recovery stock, the AA, doing so well.

[minerve 2] 01/7/2019 23:48

"operational performance can be improved."

Yeah right. Magic Melrose Maestros!

ROFLMAO!

Anyone can sack people, reduce depreciation and amortisation, switch debt to leases, capitalise R&D, improve cost of capital by getting the right debt/equity balance, sell off outlier assets bla bla bla.

How about some real quality shareholder value generation folks?

Is it here? I dunno. You tell me!

ROFLMAO!
